Hi Craig,
I've given it a try and its looking good.
 I already had some bhyve vms i wanted to import rather than creating
new. This worked fine.
I didnt ever get the default network which isnt an issue as its the
first thing I undefine on any KVM server I've use libvirt on.
Also I created the bridges myself as  I was unsure how libvirt was
supposed to do this and I've always created them manually for linux
libvirt/kvm instances, just letting libvirt create the vnet interfaces.
I'm using zvols rather than file backed but thats not causing any issues.

I'd suggest the port have a pkg-msg to suggest you add
uri_default = "bhyve:///system"
to /usr/local/etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf
so you can simply use
virsh list
etc instead of needing to specify the uri each time.


Thanks for all the work on this.
Vince
